She never expected to fall for him, her brother's best friend. The one who had always been there, teasing her, protecting her, making her heart race without ever meaning to. And yet, when the line between friendship and something more blurs, she can't ignore the pull. Two years, mistakes, and a city apart couldn't erase what they had. But now, back in the same place, the sparks are impossible to hide. Can she navigate the danger of wanting someone she shouldn't, or will the consequences of their secret be too much to bear?

"Arranged Marriage isn't about love, right?"   "Then why does it hurt when you don't look at me?" Love wasn't missing. It was waiting, patiently, painfully. He never promised her love. She never asked for it. But hearts never listen to rules. arranged marriage | slow burn | romance | angst 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: completed n.riki

Lee Erin lives by one rule: don't fall in love. It's foolproof until Nishimura Riki, her brother's insufferably charming best friend, makes it his mission to turn her quiet life into his personal comedy show. Stealing her snacks? Check. Teasing her at school? Daily. Smirking at her murder glares? Absolutely. For Ni-ki, annoying Erin is a sport, and her frustration is his trophy. When her meddling mom tries to set her up with the "perfect" but brooding son of a family friend, Erin makes a desperate move-fake-dating Ni-ki. He agrees, but of course, he doesn't make it easy. Between staged hand-holding and not-so-fake flirting, Erin finds herself laughing more than glaring. And Ni-ki? He might just be falling for the girl who swore she'd never fall for anyone. It started as a fake relationship, but is their love-hate dynamic turning into something dangerously real? Or will Erin stick to her rule and break both their hearts?

Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee. Two names that guaranteed disaster. Next-door neighbors since birth. Childhood rivals by default. The only two people in the entire neighborhood who somehow didn't get along while their families acted like one big happy unit. If anything, their parents adored each other-weekend barbecues, holiday trips, even matching family shirts at reunions. But Niki and Sohee? They were different. What started as stolen crayons and broken sandcastles turned into spitballs in middle school, which then evolved into a full-blown war by high school. Now, in their final year, they were practically the school's most infamous duo-constantly at each other's throats, always five seconds away from a murder attempt. The school's Basketball Team Captain vs. the Cheerleading Team Captain. A never-ending battle of insults, pranks, and power struggles. Teachers had stopped trying to separate them. Students placed bets on their next argument. No one could tell if they truly hated each other or if they were just too stubborn to admit whatever else was brewing beneath the surface. One thing was certain: If Nishimura Riki and Ryu Sohee were in the same room, peace was never an option. --- "Shut up!" "Make me!" "Your wish." Niki yanked her close. She gasped, barely registering when his lips crashed onto hers-hot, demanding, a battle in itself. For a second, she forgot to hate him. Then reality hit. She shoved him away, wiping her lips. "Never again." Niki smirked. "Keep telling yourself that." Game on. (Extended summary inside..) ---- A chaotic love story of two people who are too cool to be normal, too weird to care. ©Xia_Taex ❥ 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐇 (𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄) Will Begin Now <3

she was the girl ni-ki was never supposed to care about. loud arguments, sharp comebacks, and constant tension - they were enemies, everyone knew that. So when a stupid bet with his best friend dares him to prove he feels nothing for her, ni-ki agrees without a second thought. easy, right? but the more time he spends trying to "prove" it... the harder it gets to lie - to her, to sunghoon, and especially to himself. because the only thing worse than falling for her? falling for her while she still thinks you hate her. tw // rumors. harassment. slutshaming. emotional conflict. heavy angst. strong language. nsfw scenes. messy friendships. complicated love. read with care - not everything is soft here

They were childhood best friends-until Ni-ki suddenly shut out Hari without a word. Four years later, on the brink of graduation, Hari still doesn't know why he left her behind. But when fate pulls them both into the same college, she comes face-to-face with him again-colder than ever, yet impossible to ignore. Because sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...and neither do the feelings that come with it.
